What is the largest number of electrons that an atom could donate in an ionic bond?

∙ 12y ago
As an ion, the maximum would be 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 more than the number of protons in the atom, and the upper limit of atomic size is unknown. For the largest natural atom, uranium, the oxidation states are 3, 4, 5, and 6.

∙ 13y agoSince ionic bonds are polar (two poles) it is between two atoms so the answer is 2

How would you describe an atom in which the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons?
You could describe it as neutral as the charge of the protons cancels out the charge of the electrons, essentially though it is just a normal atom as if the number of protons was different to the number of electrons, it would be classed as an ion.
Can you find out the number of electrons by adding protons and neutrons?
To find out the number of electrons in an element you must add the protons and neutrons and subtract that number with the atomic mass, this will determine the amount of electrons because the unknown element could be an isotope and have more than the normal amount of electrons of the non isotope element.
Does the atomic number equal the amount of neutrons?
no, the atomic number, for the most part, is how much protons and electrons there are. The number of neutrons is determined when you subtract the atomic number from the atomic mass. When chemical bonding happens however, the number of electrons and protons could differ.
What could be the fourth quantum number for on of the electrons in the 4p energy sublevel of bromine?
ms -1/2
If you only know the number of electrons can you determine the element?
No; not if it is an ion. A chlorine atom, for example, has 17 protons and 17 electrons, but a chlorine ion (like when it is in sodium chloride, which is table salt) has 17 protons and 18 electrons. So, if you see an element with 18 electrons, it could be a chlorine ion, an argon atom, or a potassium ion.
An isotope of nitrogen could have more protons neutron electrons?
Each isotope has the same number of protons and electrons but a different number of neutrons.
How many electrons can an atom hold in its outermost level?
The number of valence electrons depends on the element and it could have 1 to 8 valence electrons.

At n 1 the total number of electrons that could be found is?
2
What is th largest number ever?
There is no such thing. As soon as you find the "largest number" you could just add one and it would be bigger. Again and again forever.
In an atom the number of what is equal to?
In an atom the number of electrons is equal to the number of protons. That is, in the case of an un-ionized, non valence bonded molecule... If the atom were ionized, it could have fewer or less electrons. If the atom were part of a valence bonded molecule, it could be sharing valence electrons with other atoms.
How would you describe an atom in which the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons?
You could describe it as neutral as the charge of the protons cancels out the charge of the electrons, essentially though it is just a normal atom as if the number of protons was different to the number of electrons, it would be classed as an ion.
